Specification of Letters'Patent.

Patented Mar. '-t. 1919.

Application filed August 14d, 1918. Serial No. 249,878.

T0 all wlw/)1. 'it may conce/rn Re it known that l.,` FRANK l. (ioonaLn. a citizen of the United States. residing at Iola, in the county of Allen and State of Kansas, have invented a new and uset'ul Motor-Stand, of which the, following is a specification.

This invention relates to a motor stand for holding the motor of an automobile While being repaired, one of its objects being to provide a Stand on which motors of different sizes may be mounted and which will hold the motorrmly while a reamer connected to the mechanism of the machine. can be utilized for dressing all of the bearings simultaneously, thereby insuring perfect alinement. and allowing the shaft of the engine to be placed in the bearingsimmediately thereafter to smooth the hearings.

Heretoforcy it has been the practice to separatelj dress the bearings. at the expenditure of considerable time and labor. after which the shaft has been placed in position and. in order to prevent. breaking of axles. gears7 and other parts, the machine has been hauled by enother machine until the bearings have been properly smoothed. Obviously. therefore, a considerable saving of time is accomso" plished by the present improvementswhich permit the shaft to be operated b v the machine immediately after the dressing operation.

A further object of the invention is to provide a motor stand which will hold the motor at. various angles, thus to enable repairs to he made, to different parts thereof. facilitate grinding of the valves. etc. j

With the foregoing and other objects in view'the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims, it being understood that various changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention hasbeen shown.

In said drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of the stand. the motor being shown thereon by dotted lines'.

Fig. 2 is a plan View.

Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3, Fig. 2.

tends transversely thereof, this sleeve receiving a short shat't S provided at one end with an attaching head 9 t'rom which ex'- tend spaced bolts lt). clamping bolt 1l extends transversely through the split sleeve above the shat't S and by means thereot' the sleeve can be clamped on the shaft so as to hold it firmly against movement relative to the cross head.

Standards l2 are mounted on tlu` table beyond one end ol the cross head 5 and a shaft lvis journaled in them. A. wheel 14 is secured to the. sha t't between the stainlards and connected to one end of the shaft, is a chuck t'or igaging and supporting` a reamer. ln the rawings the chuck has been shown at l5 and the reaincr at. 1G. This rcamer is ot' sutticient length to extend through all ot' thi` bearings ot' a motor M.

lhc gear ll is adapted to receive motion from a gear lS secured to a shaft 19 which is journaled in one oi the standards 1'2 and .in an end standard :20. Pulleys 21 are mounted on the shalt 19 and are adapted lo be engaged by a drive belt. not shown. A guide 22 may be arranged adjacent these pulleys lor supporting a belt shit'tcr '23.

ln using the device the motor to he repaired is placed on the table so that its bearings will aline with the center of the. chuck l5. lf elevation of the motor is necessary in order to bring its bearings into alinenient with the chuck. plates or shims may bc placed thereunder as will be obvious. 'lhe motor is bolted lo the table hy bolts passing through the ears 3 and the head 9 is also bolted to the motor. the bolts 10 being utilized for this purpose. .\tter the motor has been positioned accurately the remuer 16 is inserted into the hearings and into engagementA with the chuck. Thus when the shat't 13 is rotated all of the bearings will be dressed simultaneously and afl shaft can be placed in the bearings and driven'to smooth the bearings.

By releasing the motor from4 the table, the cross head can be swung laterally and by tightening the'pivots 6 the cross head with the motor connected thereto, can be held in any position `to which it may be adjusted. By loosening the bolt 11 the shaft 8 will be free to rotate so that the motor can thus be tilted relative to the cross head to facilitate different kinds of work. Obviouslyafter the motor has once been placed in position it can be shifted readily to different positions without being detached from vthe stand and all necessary repairs, etc. can be made before it is removed. By swinging the cross head backwardly and outwardly from the' stand .it will hold the motor in an inverted position and thus give convenient access to the bottom of the motor.

- The reamer 16 is of such length aste exig tend through all of the bearings at one time and can be made of different lengths and diameters to ream bearings of different sizes on. engines ofvarious makes.

Whatl ,is claimed is l. A' motor stand including a table, a cross head -mounted to swing thereon, a shaft extending through and revoluble within the cross head, means for binding the cross head upon the shaft to hold the shaft against movement, and an attaching head atone end of the shaft.

2. A motor stand including a table, la

crossfhead mounted to swing relative there; to and having an integral split sleeve, a shaft slidably andreyolbly mounted in the sleeve, an attaching"*headall one end of the shaft, and means for binding the 'sleevel upon the shaft.

3. A motor stand including a table, drive mechanism thereonv including a chuck, brackets lupon the table at one side, a cross head between and pivotally connected to the brackets, a split sleeve integral With the cross head, a shaft slidably and revolubly mounted in the sleeve, an attaching head at one end of the shaft for holding -a motor with its bearings in line With the chuck, and means for binding the sleeve upon the shaft.

4. The. combination K with a table and brackets 'extending from one side thereof, of a bowed cross headbetween and vconnected to the brackets, said cross head being mounted to swing to different positions relative to the table, a split sleeve integraly with and extending transversely of the cross head, a shaft slidably and revolubly mountedy in the sleeve, means for bindin the sleeve upon the shaft, and an attachlng head at one end of the shaft.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
